语法知识情态动词 must 更新于:2024-06-03 12:27:17

情态动词用于表示说话人的意愿、能力、推测、建议、命令等含义。情态动词通常在句子中与其他动词连用，以构成各种不同的语气和语态。
Can 表示能力、许可或询问I can swim.（我会游泳。）
Could Can的过去式式，表示过去的能力、许可或询问；也可用于委婉的请求或建议Could you pass me the salt, please?（请你递给我盐，好吗？）
May 表示可能性、许可或问询May I use your phone?（我可以使用你的手机吗？）
Might May的过去式，表示较弱的可能性、推测或委婉地提出请求It might rain later.（后面可能会下雨。）
Must (无时态要求)表示强烈的必要性、推测或推断You must wear a seatbelt.（你必须系安全带。）
Shall (仅用于第一人称)表示提出建议、征询意见或表达将来的决定Shall we go to the movies?（我们去看电影吗？）
Should Shall的过去式，表示建议、推荐或期望You should eat more fruits and vegetables.（你应该多吃水果和蔬菜。）
Will 表示将来的意愿、决心或预测I will help you with your homework.（我会帮你做作业。）
Would Will 的过去式，表示过去的习惯、委婉的请求或虚拟假设He would always arrive late.（他过去总是迟到。）

形式：主语 + 情态动词 + 动词原型

  • 情态动词无复数、无三单的变化。
  • 情态动词时态变化有限(现在与过去)，may一般现在时变为might一般过去式。
  • can 与 could 不一定非要对应为过去，很多时候是语气上的差异。can比could的语气强硬一点。很多时候我们更推荐使用could 这样更委婉的语气词做为一般疑问句。
  • 情态动词的否定、疑问句直接提前或者加not.（can的否定只能是cannot与cann't 中间不能有空格）
  • 情态动词具有单一性，一个句子里只能出现1次。
Must 必须、肯定
表示推测 “肯定，一定” 具有情态动词中最强的推测度（有把握性）情态动词 表示“必要，命令或强制，邀请，决心，不可推卸的责任”等
  • She must be 35 years old. 她肯定有35岁了(情态动词 + 动词原型)
  • She is 35 years old. 原句(明确的知道，无推测)
  • You must be the new teacher. 你肯定是新老师吧
  • You are the new teacher. 你是新老师
  • He looks pale. He must be ill. 通过pale推荐ill
  • I must do it now. 我必须现在做
  • She must do it now. 她必须现在做
  • You must do it tomorrow. 你必须明天做
  • All income must be declared. 所有收益必须申报。
  • We must broaden our appeal.我们必须扩大我们的吸引力。
在其他时态里，must 的有些含义可以用 have to 或 have got to。这三种形式一般可以互换，但用于第一人称时，have to(have got to)强调客观的要求或外在的原因， must 则强调主观的要求或表示说话的人认为自己有权做某事。
must 无时态，通常只用于现在时和将来时 have to 可以变换时态
  • Must you leave now? 难道你非得现在就走吗？
  • I’m afraid so. I have to/must study for an exam.
  • You must cope with it.你必须应付它。
  • The suit must definitely fit well. 这套衣服一定很合身。
  • I have to do it now. 一般现在时
  • She has to do it now. 一般现在时三单
  • You will have to do it tomorrow. 一般将来时
  • They had to do it yesterday. 一般过去时
have to 和 have got to 往往可以互换，但与 always，sometimes 等频度副词连用时，用 have to 往往比用have got to 好。have got to 比 have to 更口语化。在 I think…/he thinks…的从句中，一定要用事实说话. (不能说成 “I think he must be a fool.” ) must be 的否定式为 can’t be（不可能）
